most condenser are in the range 0.12 to 0.30. Also they almost always read high when they go bad so I would replace them.

Interesting. I would have guessed the opposite–that they would read low when failing. But these581419s are reading higher capacitance than any other ignition condenser I’ve seen or heard of, so it kinda makes sense.

I ordered an OMC branded tuneup kit. (Dan Anderson explained why the kit pricing is better than individual parts.)

Is there any source of specs for OMC condensers? The only one I’ve seen is for early–mostly prewar–stuff.
